Hello,
I had a pair of bluebirds nesting. I believe 4 eggs hatched and are alive. I found the female this morning dead about 20 yards from the nesting box and no sign of the male. Now there are a pair of tree swallows hanging out at the box. The female has been going inside. Would they be feeding the babies or trying to kills them and take over the nest?
Hi Wendy
Sorry that I had not returned your email. We were out of town for much of the summer.
Did you find out what happened to the bluebirds?
